Great God, Whose Universal Sway
The Known And Unknown Worlds Obey,
Now Give The Kingdom To Thy Son,
Extend His Power, Exalt His Throne.
The Sceptre Well Becomes His Hands;
All Heaven Submits To His Commands;
His Justice Shall Avenge The Poor,
And Pride And Rage Prevail No More.
With Power He Vindicates The Just,
And Treads The Oppressor In The Dust:
His Worship And His Fear Shall Last
Till The Full Course Of Time Be Past.
As Rain On Meadows Newly Mown,
So Shall He Send His Influence Down:
His Grace On Fainting Souls Distils,
Like Heavenly Dew On Thirsty Hills.
The Heathen Lands, That Lie Beneath
The Shades Of Overspreading Death,
Revive At His First Dawning Light;
And Deserts Blossom At The Sight.
The Saints Shall Flourish In His Days,
Decked In The Robes Of Joy And Praise;
Peace, Like A River, From His Throne
Shall Flow To Nations Yet Unknown.
JESUS Shall Reign Where’er The Sun
Doth His Successive Journeys Run;
His Kingdom Stretch From Shore To Shore,
Till Suns Shall Rise And Set No More.
For Him Shall Endless Prayer Be Made,
And Praises Throng To Crown His Head;
His Name Like Sweet Perfume Shall Rise
With Every Morning Sacrifice.
People And Realms Of Every Tongue
Dwell On His Love With Sweetest Song;
And Infant Voices Shall Proclaim
Their Young Hosannas To His Name.
Blessings Abound Where’er He Reigns;
The Prisoner Leaps To Lose His Chains;
The Weary Find Eternal Rest;
And All The Sons Of Want Are Blest.
Where He Displays His Healing Power,
Death And The Curse Are Known No More:
In Him The Tribes Of Adam Boast
More Blessings Than Their Father Lost.
Let Every Creature Rise, And Bring
Its Grateful Honours To Our King;
Angels Descend With Songs Again,
And Earth Prolong The Joyful Strain.
